Benang Jarum presents an exclusive collaboration with renowned Indonesian designer Rama Dauhan, featuring a collection titled ‘Hujan Bulan Juni‘ (Rain in June). This collaboration offers a contemporary interpretation of an Indonesian literary poem, translating it into a fashion collection that is expressive, feminine, and full of character.
The collection draws inspiration from Hujan Bulan Juni, one of the major works by Indonesian poet Sapardi Djoko Damono. A modern classic Indonesian poem, adapted into a novel, film, and songs. The poem speaks of unspoken love through metaphors of romance, rain holding onto longing, erasing traces, and unspoken emotions into a new visual story.
Rama Dauhan is famous for his strong visual identity within the Indonesian fashion industry. With a career spanning over two decades, his work is distinguished by bold explorations of cuts, motifs, and details, resulting in a distinct signature design.
Through this collaboration, Benang Jarum merges its characteristic feminine elegance with Rama Dauhan’s more exploratory, playful, and artistic approach.
In the Rama Dauhan for Benang Jarum collection, Hujan Bulan Juni, the narrative unfolds across three themes: loving, meeting, and finding. These themes form a unifying thread that depicts a personal journey of discovery—moving from loving gesture, encountering a life-altering moment, to ultimately finding what resonates most deeply within.
Visually, the collection embodies a concept of light and expressive ready-to-wear. Playful wavy stripes, quirky floral motifs, and the Benang Jarum monogram serve as the collection’s defining elements. Each pattern is designed to convey a distinct aspect of the story while maintaining a harmonious, cohesive feel across the entire collection.
This collaboration represents a celebration of creativity across disciplines, between renowned Indonesian designer Rama Dauhan, the fashion identity of Benang Jarum, and inspiration drawn from one of Indonesia’s most celebrated poems. Through Hujan Bulan Juni, Benang Jarum and Rama Dauhan present a collection that is not only visually striking but also embodies the stories, emotions, and cultural values that resonate deeply.
This exclusive collaboration collection officially launched on 26 July 2026. The collection range from tops, pants, and scarfs are now available via Benang Jarum’s website, app, and stores.
